Well, it's about time to start modding the new car I have 525 miles on her and she is begging for the Sprint Booster and the CDV valve. I have the SB and will have to order the "dummy" CDV to swap with the original. Will post results once I have things installed.

Can't wait to hear your feedback on the SB on the 535. That car is going to LAUNCH out of the gate with that thing.

Aren't you supposed to be taking it easy on her to break her in? I doubt that'll happen if you get an SB installed

1200 miles is the break in period so you are almost there. Easy does it.

with the TT engine, I would suggest you to chip it (AA or proCEDE(vishnu)) or get a plug and play system like the Turbo tuner and Juicebox

Juicebox: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Juice-Box-S...3QQcmdZViewItem

Turbo Tuner:

Happy modding

The Vishnu Procede got a nice little blurb in Road and Track a few months back. I can't find the link but the site is easy to find and they have a great video on the installation. Good performance #s to.

Here is a thread from another site on the JB http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.p...cede&page=2
